Inhaltsangabe

The Suspect Speaker Series comprises short stories about people with aphasia, the loss of a previously held ability to speak or understand spoken or written language, due to disease or brain injury, mainly stroke.

The third in the series, Even More Suspect Speaking has seven short stories, a group of five connected short stories and poems, all about people with communication difficulties.

The short stories have two versions:
The "A" versions has shorter sentences and more gaps - perfect for people with aphasia.
The "B" version is fuller. It has more descriptive prose – perfect for carers and family members who have an acquaintance with aphasia and what it means.

Highly recommended for readers with aphasia and their supporters and care partners.
Darlene Williamson, MA, CCC-SLP, President of National Aphasia Association (USA)

...different journeys and experiences that people have, in such a rich and compelling way...
Professor Suzanne C Purdy, The University of Auckland

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

James Stephens was an Irish author and artist who lived from February 9, 1880, to December 26, 1950. Stephens' father died when he was two years old, and his mother remarried when he was six. For begging on the streets, Stephens was sent to the Meath Protestant Industrial School for Boys in Blackrock, where he spent most of the rest of his youth. Before he became a solicitor's clerk, he went to school with his adopted brothers Thomas and Richard (Tom and Dick) Collins. They participated in and won a number of sports events, even though James was very short. People loved him and called him "Tiny Tim." He became very interested in military bravery after hearing stories about his adoptive family. He would have become a fighter if he wasn't so tall. Stephens became more interested in socialism and the Irish language in the early 1900s. By 1912, he was a committed Irish Republican. He was good friends with the leader of 1916, Thomas MacDonagh. At the time, MacDonagh was editor of The Irish Review and deputy teacher at St. Enda's, PH Pearse's radical bilingual Montessori school. Later, he became manager of the Irish Theatre.
